We are having problems accessing our blog while here in China. We have set up a different site for family and friends to follow our journey to Ellie. Please go to:
http://journeytome.com/journal_view.cfm?journalid=2193
That should take you to a page with Ellie's referral picture and you should see a table of contents at the bottom. You can click on the date of any of the entries and follow our trip that way.
If for some reason the link doesn't work for you, go to www.journeytome.com. Click on Adoption Stories and search on Ellie. You will want to choose the journal whose agency is listed as All God's Children International.
Thanks for the many kind emails and prayers that are lifted on our behalf!

We Have Arrived
We left our home Friday morning at 8 am and arrived at our hotel in Guangzhou at 10:30 am on Sunday...somewhere we lost 12 hours, our bodies are still trying to figure that one out. We used a variety of planes, trains and automobiles to transport us but we are now safely tucked away in Shamian Hotel on Shamian Island. It is clean, has a shower and a bed...that's about all we are wanting right now.
The big news...we get Ellie at 4 pm tomorrow (Monday). She is coming from her orphanage which is 4 hours away. We are exactly 12 hours ahead of home time so be sure to check the site sometime on Monday morning and, if all goes well with the internet connection, there should be pictures!

Travel Plans
The final appointment has been set and tickets were purchased today!
We fly direct from Chicago to Hong Kong on April 18th. We fly back home with Miss Ellie on April 30th, arriving at O'Hare at 2:20 pm.
It is with great relief that we have plans finalized and can now begin working on schedules for our boys that will be staying home. You may want to say an extra prayer for both sets of grandparents and one aunt that are all doing a sort of "tag team" child sitting/taxi driving service!
